Ellyn Schinke
Burnout Coach | Notion Nerd | Enneagram 3
Big goals shouldn’t leave you feeling like a sh*t show. I help high-achievers build burnout-proof success—without slowing down or burning out.
From science nerd to burnout coach,
my story proves that burnout doesn’t have to be the price of success.

I Thought I Was Going to Be Dr. Ellyn…
Now I’m Ellyn, the Burnout Coach.
Burnout has hit me at every stage of my life:
✅ In grad school, while chasing my PhD
✅ When I left academia to start my business
✅ And every time I leveled up as an entrepreneur (#newlevelnewdevil - am I right?)
Each time, I learned the hard way that “just delegate” and “find balance” are absolute bullshit.
High-achievers don’t need balance—they need sustainability.
Success Is Supposed to Fuel You—Not F*ck You Up.
You know. You’ve been burned out before.
You know what it’s like to hit that wall.
You know that burnout doesn’t happen over night.
You know how it creeps back in when you’re scaling, pushing harder, or chasing that next level…
And you don’t want to go back there.
But without systems, boundaries, and strategies that actually support you…you probably will (#realtalk)!
The truth?
High-achievers don’t need to slow down.
They need to work smarter, not harder—with systems that sustain their ambition, self-care that doesn’t feel like a check list and mindsets that keep burnout at bay FOR GOOD!
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME
01 | Relentless Ambition Is Welcome Here.
No “slow down and take a nap” advice here. We’ll ditch the hustle culture traps and build burnout-proof systems so you can hit your big goals without hitting a wall.
02 | No Fluff. Just Actionable Strategies.
I’m not here to give you vague pep talks or fluffy self-care tips. Everything I teach is backed by science and designed to work in the real world—for ambitious people like you.
03 | It’s Not About Doing Less. It’s About Doing What Works.
Burnout-proof success isn’t about cutting back (unless you want to 😉).
It’s about doing the right things in the right way—so you can achieve more without burning out again.
What is a Sunday CEO?
This journey taught me something huge: you don’t have to choose between big goals and having a damn life! A Sunday CEO is a high-achieving, purpose-driven leader who owns their ambition without letting it own them. They’re here to build meaningful work that fuels them—not drains them.
Sunday CEOs are done with hustle culture that’s all grind and no gain. For them, work isn’t about suffering for success—it’s an extension of their passion and values, woven seamlessly into their life.
They’ve replaced burnout with boundaries, outdated routines with systems that actually work, and exhaustion with real enjoyment. A Sunday CEO thrives with grit, confidence, and a “hell yes” attitude—showing up fully for their goals and the life they’re building.
This is the life I’m here to help you create.

Coach Ellyn gave such energy to her presentation at our all-Team meeting last month. Her content was spot on to what our team needed to hear/learn about burn out and she kept all fully engaged. Hire her. You won't regret it.”
